I don't think they are the aluminum ones... I'm pretty sure that the plug that is in it is taking a poo. It was in there when I got the tires. I just gotta go out there with a bottle of dawn water and see where it is.

No, no! You didn't step in nuthin'! Just like 'Michigan', (as you noted!), can be pronounced differently with the same spelling and mean... um... something entirely different, so can 'chaikwa'! Probably WHY I was named that!

I'm sure I've had it, just know it by a different name. (that name thing again!)

You may be right, but I'd HATE to have to sit down to pee!

Gotta go to the MDA telethon with Jake and try to raise more money for Jerry. Later!

Well, that's 180* from what I thought you were talking about. Bet Scott is thinking the same thing. No need for that to run the chain, it was a training accident.

And I got sig quoted too!

I can give you something else that will get your attention. I got a call one morning from the day shift dispatcher, about 0930 or so. It went something like this.....
Rick, it's Gene. What are you doing?
It's 0930, I'm sleeping, I worked last night.
Well wake up. You know that guy you arrested last night?
Yeah.
The medics are upstairs with him now, he's dead.
Haha, very funny. I'm hanging up now.
No seriously, one of the other prisoners started yelling at us, the guy wouldn't wake up. Gordon wants to talk to you. He thinks you had a problem with the guy. He doesn't know I'm calling, just get up.
Thanks.....


That will snap you awake. IAD called about 10 minutes later. I told them to call the cab driver that followed me all the way to the jail before I came in for an interview. An hour later IAD called back to tell me the cab driver said just what I did and they didn't need to talk to me now.

Actually he was killed by one of the "native police" who were escorting him... there are stil rumors that a family/clan feud was involved. Crazy Horse was being arrested for "fomenting unrest" and it was thought that having him arrested by his own people would not incite an uprising. Crazy Horse allegedly stumbled, and a cowardly young Sioux from a different band than Crazy Horse's that was part of the arresting party bayoneted him in the side, puncturing the kidney. The man later said he thought the chief was going for a weapon and stabbed him.......

Somehow this gets even funnier when followed by discussions of "Boston Butt" and "Pulled Pork".....dont ask me why......

Hope all are having a great weekend and enjoying the holiday... still no truck, was hoping to hear from John this weekend... gotta move hay next Saturday and its gonna be kinda hard with the little Toyo SR5 Im driving.

Nothing much happening around this part of the country, cold front moved through and dropped the temps into the upper 70's to mid 80's, sunny skies and it would be perfect if we didnt have a nice little 40-45mph breeze blowing.

WEll, off to see what pearls of wisdom can be gleaned....

have a great day!
Chris

Me too, but even when you're innocent, you're guilty until proven otherwise.

OK I have just about had all I can take. Got most of the paint stripped off my trailer getting it ready for primer but I have a GROWING assortment of knots on my head

Now I know that the Squirrels have to cut the acorns out of the trees so they can get to storing them for this winter.... but how in the heck did MY squirrel get so dang good at hitting me in the top of the head?

OK MAYBE he isn't really aiming them at me, it could all just be coincidence......It is that little sneaky laugh I keep hearing from the tree tops every time I holler OWW! that is starting to bother me.

I count 11 little bloody knots on my head so far......and I am even wearing my Hard Head One more direct hit and we will be having squirrel in the crockpot I gUaRaNteEEEEE

Thanks Chris! It's nice to hear history FIRST HAND, from someone who actually witnessed the event!

LOL! J/K! I know you weren't there... not RIGHT there at least. But you were around! Amazing how history gets manipulated to suit someone's agenda, ain't it?

Afternoon all.

something similar happened to my son once deer hunting. He was sitting at the base of a tree and a squirrel kept dropping acorns on him.

Have the plug removed and have a vulcanized patch installed, no more leaks.
